The hopon/hopoff tourist bus (express inner city route) at 13 euros allows the visitor to view the beautiful buildings in Germany’s third largest city (1.4M) where Hitler started his campaigns.
The “Englische Garten” had been recommended and as it was such a lovely day, I spent a couple of hours in one of the world’s largest urban parks. Lots of people soaking up the sun along the banks of the fast flowing river where surfers were riding the waves..yes amazing. What I wasn’t expecting was the naked sun worshippers mixed in with the clothed ones! Yes in Germany nudity in public places (within reason) is allowed.
The other main attraction (!) is The Chinese Tower, a huge Bier Garten and restaurant area located in the centre of this beautiful park. A small beer cost 3.70 euros.
Apart from the under renovation part outside the main railway station, I thought Munich to be one of the most impressive and green cities I’ve seen. It´s also the dearest in Germany. The hostel which was pretty horrible cost 59euros for one single room, shared shower and no breakfast…and prices here soar during Oktoberfest.
Time to head back to my "home", Bad Nauheim..a four hour train ride.
